Not sure if it help but IB recently purchased a local forum I am on, and the set up that the previous owner had set up is amazing. Not sure if you have access to Vadriven's coding.

 

great.

 

Hi everyone!

We have shifted our approach for regional for sale threads and will use prefixes. I started to create new regional sub-forums, however, because of the large number of regions the classifieds would end both woefully fragmented and confusing. Instead we setup a prefix system which maintains the current classified categories while allowing prefixes to be assigned for not only WTB,WTS and WTT but region. The prefixes are searchable meaning you will be able to search for all WTS offers in NorCal. I'll turn it on in the next day or two with announcements in the classifieds. Thanks!
